Trying to make sense of it all. 

On Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live on June 23, host Andy Cohen asked The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Kathy Hilton and Crystal Kung Minkoff if they believe all the details about Erika Jayne‘s messy divorce drama.

The latest RHOBH episode, which also aired on June 23, showed Erika opening up about her failed marriage to attorney Tom Girardi for the first time. “I literally made a decision that I had to,” Erika stated. “I left because he pushed me further and further out. The conversations that I used to have were now reduced down to a sentence or two. I just kept walking around that house, and knowing that this marriage was headed down a really s–tty path, I had to make a choice to do what was right for me. I couldn’t live that way anymore.”  

But Andy wanted the inside scoop from Kathy and Crystal: “When she told you guys that story, were you feeling like it was all sincere?” he asked.

Cyrstal quickly answered, “When she told us about her divorce, I had only met her two weeks into that, so of course I believe [it] at face value.”

Kathy noted that she had only met Erika previously at an intimate birthday party for sister Kyle Richards two years prior. “I just don’t know,” Kathy continued. “I believe she’s, like, telling the truth.”

Andy called on Kyle, who was sitting in the audience, to chime in, having known Erika for longer. He also asked a fan question that accused co-star Lisa Rinna of being “hypocritical” in supporting Erika when she previously tried to get to the bottom of Puppygate and Denise Richards‘ “alleged tryst” with Brandi Glanville. 

“Well first of all, this was six months ago—even longer, maybe—so we were just getting the information as it was unfolding,” Kyle revealed. “And we still don’t know everything. To be fair, Rinna is a lot closer to Erika than she was with Denise, but we really don’t know anything. We still don’t know what’s going on.”

It's officially over between Christina Haack and Ant Anstead, who finalized their divorce on Monday, June 21, after calling it quits in September 2020.

Christina Haack and Ant Anstead‘s relationship is officially over.

The duo, who called it quits in September 2020 after two years of marriage, have finalized their divorce, Christina’s rep confirms to E! News. According to legal filings, which were obtained by E! News, a judge signed off on the dissolution on Monday, June 21.

TMZ, who first broke the news, reports that Christina and Ant will share custody—both legal and physical—of their son, Hudson, 21 months. Additionally, the outlet revealed through its sources that the two privately negotiated how they’ll disperse their assets and properties. Moreover, they won’t have to provide financial support to one another moving forward.

At this time, both Christina and Ant have yet to publicly comment on their divorce being finalized.

Back in September, the 37-year-old reality TV personality announced that she and the English star decided to part ways.

“Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate,” Christina shared on Instagram at the time. “We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority. We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future.”

Just days after the Flip or Flop star addressed their break up, Ant broke his silence on the matter.

“Anyone who really knows me knows that I don’t like to share private matters publicly. I have remained silent while holding on to hope,” he captioned his Instagram. “I never gave up on us. I pray Christina’s decision brings her happiness.”

Although Ant held onto hope that they could work things out, Christina filed for divorce two months after they split.

Earlier this month, Christina pulled back the curtains on her private life and opened up about being single in an interview with E! News.

“I believe that everyone deserves to have love and find love and I hope that happens for me,” she shared. “But it would take a really special someone and my goal right now is just to focus on my kids and keeping my private life, as private as it can possibly be.”

She also kept it real about her life as a working mom, as she raises her three kids: Hudson, Taylor, 10, and Brayden, 5, who she shares with her ex, Tarek El Moussa.

“I mean, balancing is something that everyone struggles with—so do I,” she admitted. “I just try to do the best I can. When I get off work, I don’t have a nanny for Taylor and Brayden, so I just try to make sure that I’m there to pick them up and take them to sports and spend time with the three kids and put my phone down.”

She added, “Something I did was getting off social media for a while and I feel like that is a big distraction. My kids do not like me being on my phone, so I feel like that’s setting an example for them. When I get home, I make sure my focus is on them and when I’m at work, my focus is work.”

Since the filing, Kim also paid tribute to her ex on Instagram earlier this month, for his 44th birthday. Again, she shared a pic of him with their kids.

“Happy Birthday,” she wrote in the caption. “Love U for Life!”

On past Father’s Day holidays, Kim typically honored Kanye and her late father in separate Instagram posts.

Kanye has appeared to move on since his split from Kim. In recent weeks, he has been sparking romance rumors with Irina Shayk, Bradley Cooper‘s ex. Earlier this month, just after he celebrated his 44th birthday, Kanye and the model were photographed together on a trip to France. Days later, the rapper appeared to have unfollowed Kim and her family on Twitter.

Meanwhile, a source recently told E! News that “Kim has heard the rumors about Kanye and Irina Shayk and she doesn’t mind at all.” The insider added, “If it doesn’t impact her kids, then she doesn’t mind if Kanye dates.” 

Erika Jayne Finally Addresses "Fking Complicated" Divorce From Tom Girardi

On Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika Jayne shared new insight into her decision to divorce embattled attorney Tom Girardi after 21 years, which "shocked" her co-stars.

Watch: Erika Jayne Believes Tom Girardi Was Unfaithful Before Their Split

Erika Jayne is ready to talk about her divorce from Tom Girardi, but as the reality star points out, “It’s so f–king complicated.”

In Wednesday night’s episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika prepares herself for the inevitable discussion with her cast mates, but as she says in the confessional, “There’s so many layers to this divorce. It’s so f–king complicated. It’s very difficult to explain.”

Erika says she understands why the ladies are probably “very shocked” and are going to have “a lot of questions,” especially since she broke the news over text. That message read, “Ladies, I truly consider you my close friends and this is why I’m reaching out to tell you that I filed for divorce this morning. Thank you for supporting me. This will be tough.”

Later in the episode, the ladies gather at Sutton Stracke‘s for a party, when conversation turns to the divorce. Lisa Rinna said she never anticipated Tom and Erika’s split, saying, “I instantly called her and, you know, I was just as surprised as we all were.”

Dorit Kemsley was equally taken aback, but she and Kyle Richards said they simply “don’t know enough about what’s happening.”

Without explicitly mentioning Tom’s age, Garcelle Beauvais speculated why Erika chose to split from the 82-year-old at this stage in his life, questioning, “Shouldn’t she wait?” While Dorit admitted, “I literally know what you’re thinking,” Sutton shut down the theory.

“I didn’t say it!” Garcelle responded. “I’m implying it and y’all are slow.”

Then, as Erika arrives for the party, the episode ends before they can truly grill the newly single Bravolebrity about her marriage problems.

However, in a preview for next week’s RHOBH, Erika is shown telling the women that she herself “did not see it ending this way.” She shared, “I was going to hold that man’s hand until he died.”

E! News was first to report  Erika and Tom’s divorce last November. In a statement, Erika said, “After much consideration, I have decided to end my marriage to Tom Girardi. This is not a step taken lightly or easily.”

“I have great love and respect for Tom and for our years and the lives we built together,” the reality star continued. “It is my absolute wish to proceed through this process with respect and with the privacy that both Tom and I deserved. I request others give us that privacy as well.”

Following the announcement, a source close to Erika told E! News, “The reason Erika filed for divorce was infidelity.” 

The insider claimed Tom had an affair with “more than one woman” and that he’d previously been caught cheating years prior. Though Erika gave him a second chance, the source said he continued his infidelity and “she came to the conclusion she needed to end the marriage.”

At the time, E! News reached out to Tom’s team for comment and did not heard back.

Tom is currently embroiled in legal problems as past clients have come forward to accuse him of fraud and embezzlement. Erika was also mentioned as a defendant in the suit, however, neither Tom nor Erika have filed responses to the complaints.
